At first we were given the laws to follow so that we live in ways pleasing to God. But we were weak in our fleshly weakness and limitations. We didn't have the strength to accomplish it. We wished but we couldn't. It is like a crippled man who is given a place to live and asked to do everything as per the rules. But he couldn't even though he wished because of his bodily weakness.
Then he started to become filthy and dirty. His condition worsened to reach a total loss. Seeing this the owner decides to send his son to be with him little time and help him by showing how to do things and train him. This was a opening to life. The crippled got better and was able to do things when the son was with him.but when he goes,the person's condition became so sad. He couldn't do anything. Even though the son came to him and showed everything, he didn't get the strength in his disabled body to do and he got into trouble often. Even danger to life.
The owner was watching this and he asked his son to go with him and stay with him always. To make his house with him. He also send a hand probe through his son for the man to help him in picking things ,sounding alarms during need, to guide him in the way he must move..etc. the son sacrificed his life for this and obeyed his father and emptied himself for the man and day- night he stayed with him. He gave the probe too to him as his helper.
The man got strength to do everything through the son and his helper probe.
This is the love of trinity in communion with each of us.

Lord communed with Adam and Eve in the garden.he came down to be with them. Only if God is with us ,we are in divine power and presence when his presence goes,we are just weak flesh. Getting tossed by desires. So we always must strive to be in gods presence to get strength to crush flesh by power of god, the holy spirit.
There is no good in me apart from you oh Lord.

He is building us up as his house..his son lives in us..let us hold on in this hope and confidence. And listen to the voice of Jesus spirit living in us and do as he says. He is making us his house to live in us in fullness.
(For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s[a] house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. 6 Christ, however, was faithful over God’s[b] house as a son, and we are his house if we hold firm[c] the confidence and the pride that belong to hope.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
as on the day of testing in the wilderness,(Hebrews 3:4-8)
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?[a] 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.(1corinthians 3:16-19)
The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.” 17 But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but the fornicator sins against the body itself. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple[f] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.(1corinthians 6:13-20)
like living stones, let yourselves be built[a] into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 peter 2:5)
you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, 20 built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.[a] 21 In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom you also are built together spiritually[b] into a dwelling place for God.(Ephesians 2:19-22)
God wants to enter us into his completion..the rest that he is in as he completed all his work..this rest we obtain when he dwells in us in perfection and we and him are dissolved as one..(john17) for this we just want to abide with him living in spirit and allowing our self to be in him for him surrendered in trust. He does everything for us in our faith in him.
Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”(revelation 21:3-4)
